Japanese cuisine has firmly entered our lives. Sushi is sold at every turn, and once such dishes were a curiosity. Now you can easily order them with home delivery and enjoy the unusual taste of rice and fresh fish. But you can cook sushi yourself, especially since it is so simple. We bring to your attention the recipe for nigiri sushi with salmon.

Cooking Features

In order to make the simplest salmon sushi, you need very little. More complex ones - rolls - cannot be piled without special utensils. The main thing is that you have good wasabi and the right rice. Just boiled cereal will not work here, it will not be sticky enough and it will not taste authentic enough. Special rice is sold in stores, but is quite expensive. You can make the right one yourself, the main thing is to know how.

Salmon is also not a problem to buy. In gastronomic chains, chilled fillets are always fresh and are perfect for making salmon nigiri sushi.

Nigirisushi

This is a kind of sushi when an oval "sausage" is formed from rice, the top of which is smeared with wasabi, and a thin piece of fish (or scrambled eggs) is placed on top, which completely covers the rice, like a cap. Such sushi is easy to prepare, and it does not require special skills. This is exactly the recipe for sushi with salmon that we offer you.

Cooking special rice

First you need to cook the rice. If you find special sushi rice in the store, then you only need to boil it according to the instructions. If not, then you need to weld an ordinary round one using a special technology and add the necessary things to it so that it has the proper taste and texture. Note that store-bought sushi rice and home-cooked rice differ significantly in price.

So, first you need to prepare dressing for rice. To do this, pour a little less than a glass of six percent rice vinegar into a saucepan, pour half a glass of sugar and a teaspoon of s alt without a slide. Turn on the heat to high and stir the mixture with a wooden spatula until everything dissolves. As soon as this has happened and the vinegar has barely begun to boil, add a couple of sheets of nori seaweed there, cover with a lid and remove it from the stove. When the gas station cools down, you need to catch the algae and throw them away. Gas station ready!

Now the rice itself. It is best to take round-grain rice, as it is also called in Russia, Krasnodar. It must be washed several times, and then poured with water and left to soak for half an hour. Then we drain the water and start rinsing itunder cool running water. You need to mix with a spatula so as not to damage the rice. Rinse until the water is completely clear. Then you can throw it in a colander and let the water drain for about ten minutes.

Then put the rice in a pan in an even layer, without peas, and fill it with cold water so that the water protrudes 2-3 centimeters above the grits. Cover with a lid and set to maximum heat until it boils (steam starts to break out from under the lid), and immediately reduce to a minimum. Cook for another 20 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave to cool for another 15 minutes. The main thing is not to open the lid during the entire cooking!

Now we spread the rice in a separate form, it is better a baking sheet to pour the dressing. Ignore grits sticking to the bottom of the pan! We level the rice with a spatula and pour dressing at the rate of 200 milliliters per kilogram of cereal. Mix thoroughly, cover with a towel and set to cool. All! You can make sushi with salmon!

Making sushi

Cut the salmon fillet with one movement of a sharp knife slightly diagonally to the fish fibers into the required number of layers. Pour warm water into a deep bowl and throw a couple of slices of lemon. We will wet our hands in it while making sushi with salmon.

So, we moisten the fingers of the left hand and take some rice, from which we form a sausage with slightly narrowed edges with the palm of our hand. With the index finger of the right hand, we coat the top with a small amount of wasabi. Then wet the right hand andput a layer of salmon in the palm, on which we place the rice sausage with the smeared side to the fish. With your hand we make the fish cover the rice, as if flowing around it. Ready! Serve the finished dish with pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce.
